A complete system for steel, AISI, copper, and cupronickel tubes

BIG Size is more than just a machine—it has the potential to revolutionize the entire tube processing cycle. Designed to work with materials like standard steel, AISI, copper, and cupronickel, it is capable of handling complex and flexible operations without compromising quality and precision.

Beam and inclined plane loading

Equipped with either bundle or inclined plane loaders, BIG Size efficiently processes tubes of various sizes and materials, optimizing production flow according to required volumes.

Orbital and insert cutting technology

BIG Size features an advanced cutting system available in orbital and insert configurations, developed to tackle high-strength materials and significant thicknesses with precision and speed. Compared to traditional disc cutting systems, insert cutting offers:

- enhanced quietness, fostering a more comfortable work environment;
- reduced operational costs due to lower tool wear and minimal maintenance needs;
- superior quality, with precise finishes and optimized processing times.

This technology makes BIG Size a strategic choice for companies seeking high performance, economic efficiency, and operational sustainability.

Internal and external beveling, thread-rolling, turning, and drilling

Beyond cutting, BIG Size integrates a comprehensive set of advanced functionalities to address the most complex processing needs, including:

- internal and external beveling for optimal edge preparation, ideal for quality welding;
- thread-rolling for creating precise and durable threads directly on the tube;
- turning and drilling for high-precision custom machining.

These operations, performed inline, deliver significant advantages, such as drastic reduction in downtime by eliminating intermediate steps and transfers between machines; besides, they offer simplified logistics with a single platform managing the entire production process, and ensure consistent and superior quality compared to standalone machines.

With BIG Size, Ralc Italia offers a solution that combines versatility and innovation, enabling companies to optimize processes, enhance productivity, and maintain total quality control. The revolution in tube processing is here.

Innovative CNC rotating cutting head
